3.	gives an idea of what George Washington looked like?

-A-		-B-		-C-
The Mount Vernon Museum gives an idea of George and Martha Washington's life. On display are personal things of America's first president and military equipment. One can also see porcelain and silver used at Mount Vernon. A bust of George Washington modeled at Mount Vernon by the French sculptor Jean Houdon, is also exhibited. The bust is thought to look like the model. Washington is depicted as a general, the founder of the state.		In the Freer Gallery of Art visitors will find one of the finest collections of Chinese and Japanese art in the western world. A Detroit industrialist, Charles Lang Freer, was fond of Oriental art. During his trips to London he began collecting it. Later he gave his private collection to the museum which had been opened a century before.		The Renwick gallery shows American art from the 19^thto the 21^st centuries. The collection has works of modern American artists in glass, ceramics, metal, and wood. The building, begun in 1859, was Washington, D.C.'s first art museum. It is named after the building's architect, James Renwick.

-D-		-E-		-F-
This museum is filled with the sounds, sights and smells of the life of this big city in the past. The museum tells about common people who worked in industries, trades and services, looking at their work and pastimes and uses reconstructed scenes, objects and photographs to bring their story to life.		This Museum is so much fun for kids and grown-ups. It tells the story of flight, from the first balloons to our current exploration of the Universe. It is the home of the first airplane. Only in this museum visitors can make a tour of the Universe and walk through a skylab orbital workshop.		The attractive and unusual architecture of the Hirshhorn Museum sets it apart from the other museums on the Mall. Looking like a sculpture itself, the Hirshhorn Museum is a tall cylinder. The museum is named after an American collector of modern art.

А8 – А14, обводя цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую номеру выбранного вами варианта ответа.

During the baking hot months of the summer holidays my mother and I used to escape to one of the scattered lakes north of Prince Albert. In its magic surroundings we used to spend the long summer days in the open air, swimming and canoeing or just lying dreaming in the sun. In the evening the lake was always a bright, luminous grey after the unbelievable sunset colours had faded.

The last summer before we returned to England was particularly enchanted. For one thing, I was in love for the first time. No one will ever convince me that one cannot be in love at fifteen. I loved then as never since, with all my heart and without doubts or reservations or pretence.

My boyfriend Don worked in Saskatoon, but the lake was ''his place'' – the strange and beautiful wilderness drew him with an obsessive urgency, so I suspected it was not to see me that he got on his motor-cycle as many Fridays as he possibly could, and drove three hundred-odd miles along the pitted prairie roads to spend the weekends at our place.

Sometimes he couldn't come, and the joy would go out of everything until Monday, when I could start looking forward to Friday again. He could never let us know in advance, as we were too far from civilization to have a phone or even a telegraph service. Three hundred miles in those conditions is quite a journey. Besides, Don was hard up, and sometimes worked overtime at weekends.

One Friday night a storm broke out. I lay in bed and listened to the thunder and the rain beating on the roof. Once I got up and stood looking out over the treetops, shivering. I tried not to expect Don that night hoping he would have enough sense to wait until the storm ended. Yet in my frightened thoughts I couldn't help imagining Don fighting the storm. His motorbike, which had always looked to me so heavy and solid, seemed in my thoughts frail enough to be blown onto its side by the first gust that struck it. I thought of Don pinned under it, skidding, his face pressed into the mud.

I crawled back into bed, trying to close my throat against the tears. But when my mother, prompted by the deep sympathy and understanding between us, came in to me, she kissed my cheek and found it wet.

"Don't get upset, Jane,'' she said softly. ''He may still come.''

When she had tucked me in and gone, I lay thinking about Don, about the danger of the roads … you couldn't ride or walk along them safely after heavy rain; your feet would slip from under you. The roads in Northern Canada are not like the friendly well-populated English ones, where there are always farmhouses within walking distance and cars driving along them day and night.

It was hours later, that I suddenly realized the sound of the roaring engine was real. The storm was dying. I lay absolutely still, relief and pain fighting for ascendancy within me, each in itself overwhelming enough to freeze the breath in my lungs as I heard Don's heavy tired footsteps on the wooden stairs.

The last summer was particularly fascinating for Jane because she

1)	spent it in the magic surroundings.
2)	had a lot of fun in the open air.
3)	enjoyed unbelievable sunsets by the lake.
4)	fell in love for the first time.

Jane believes that love at fifteen is

1)	a sincere deep feeling.
2)	associated with doubts.
3)	full of reservations.
4)	connected with pretence.

A10

Don travelled three hundred-odd miles every weekend because he was

1)	desperate to see the author before she left.
2)	fond of riding his motorcycle.
3)	attracted by the beauty of the lake.
4)	fond of spending weekends with his friends.

Now we are ready to start

Speaker 1

I can say from my experience that it’s not tests that ever really worried me. It was the nervous atmosphere that teachers created around them that affected me more than tests themselves. The competition between schools and teachers is the problem not the tests.

Speaker 2

Children are just not allowed to be children anymore. What does a standard test mean to a seven-year-old kid? They should be at play instead of preparing for tests or worrying about the results.

Speaker 3

I was fortunate enough to go to school before tests for 7- and 11-year-old children appeared, but I spent a year being prepared for the test at the age of 14. Instead of being taught English, Maths or History, I was taught exactly what I needed to pass some tests. As a result I wasn’t given basic knowledge in these subjects that I needed for my school leaving exam.

Speaker 4

People who say that there shouldn’t be any competition in education should ask themselves if their children are going to meet competition when they reach the real world. Of course they are. Schools should hold competitions in whatever form they can, including testing, or children will be unprepared for real life.

Speaker 5

It is not a bad thing to have tests. My daughter is studying in the Chinese system and has tests four times a year and exams two times a year. The idea is to find out what progress the child is making. Unfortunately, I think that a lot of parents look on test results as a competition among kids, that’s where pressure comes from.

Задания А1 – А7

Вы услышите интервью с мужчиной, в котором он говорит о своем опыте достижения поставленной цели. В заданиях А1 – А7обведите номер выбранного вами варианта ответа. Вы услышите запись дважды.

Now we are ready to start.

Interviewer: Tell me about your work in goal setting.

Mr. Merry: Ok. Getting what you want out of life doesn’t just happen, you have to make it happen. As for me I was bumbling through life, not really knowing what I wanted to achieve, and then finally it sort of dawned on me. I realised that I wasn’t really going anywhere. And then finally I decided that I needed to do something, and the big thing for me was … I was too heavy.

So what I did was … I got a group of friends around me and told them that I wanted to lose weight. It was very important for me to let them know about it because if you tell other people about your goals, they’re no longer YOUR secret. Frequently what I used to do was set a goal and say, “Right. I’m going to do this, but I didn’t tell anyone about my solution, so when I never did it, it didn’t really matter because nobody knew about my goal”. So by telling other people, “I really want to do this” I was looking for some kind of guarantee that I won’t give in. It helped me to be as good as my word, I suppose.

There are three types of goals. There’s the dream goal, the performance goal and the daily goal. For me, for example, I want to lose twenty kilos, so I’ll wake up and think, “I’m going to lose twenty kilos”, it’s a dream goal.

The performance goal is, OK, what do I have to do to lose twenty kilos? And that might be, I’ve got to exercise every day or I’m only going to eat three meals a day and no chocolate bars or whatever. So, actually, I start planning things.

And then there’s the daily goal which is actually taking actions. Many of us have had New Year’s resolutions where we say, “Right, this year I’m going to lose weight or get fit or give up smoking or whatever”. We think about actions that should be taken, we talk them over with our friends, but February comes and we’ve forgotten all about it.

Also when it comes to goal setting, we frequently hear people say that goals need to be SMART that is they need to be specific and measurable. So if you have a goal, let’s say, “Oh, I’m going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro”, and then five years later it’s like, “Oh, that’s right, I want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro”, it’s not really a goal, that’s more of a dream. By having it as a goal it should be realistic and achievable.

Interviewer: Why is it that most people do so badly at reaching goals?

Mr. Merry: They lose focus. There is so much happening in everybody’s life that what happens is they might have a goal, and then something will get in the way. Maybe their goal is to go on a holiday, and they put in their leave form with their boss, and their boss is like, “Oh, now’s not a good time, we’ve got this project on. Can you wait … a month?” And then next month it’s, “Can you wait another month?” And so different things get in the way, life goes on and they fail to remember what their goal was all about.

Also a lot of people don’t set goals. They think they do, but it’s either a dream, or it’s a very loose goal. So when it comes to making a decision about an action which they need to take in their life, the goal is so FAR BACK IN THEIR MIND, so indefinite and vague, that they don’t act in their best interests.
